Spectral performance of the Microchannel X-ray Telescope on board the SVOM mission
B. Schneider, N. Renault-Tinacci, D. Götz +7
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) is an innovative compact X-ray instrument on board the SVOM astronomical mission dedicated to the study of transient phenomena such as gamma-…
X-ray emission from a rapidly accreting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy at z=6.56
Julien Wolf, Kirpal Nandra, Mara Salvato +14
This study aims at identifying luminous quasars at among X-ray-selected sources in the eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS) in order to place a lower limit on blac…
The Scientific Performance of the Microchannel X-ray Telescope on board the SVOM Mission
D. Gotz, M. Boutelier, V. Burwitz +17
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) will be the first focusing X-ray telescope based on a "Lobster-Eye" optical design to be flown on Sino-French mission SVOM. SVOM will be dedi…
First wide field-of-view X-ray observations by a lobster eye focusing telescope in orbit
C. Zhang, Z. X. Ling, X. J. Sun +75
As a novel X-ray focusing technology, lobster eye micro-pore optics (MPO) feature both a wide observing field of view and true imaging capability, promising sky monitoring with sig…
First light of BEaTriX, the new testing facility for the modular X-ray optics of the ATHENA mission
S. Basso, B. Salmaso, D. Spiga +35
The Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX) is a unique X-ray apparatus now operated at the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (OAB)…
X-ray performance of critical-angle transmission grating prototypes for the Arcus mission
Ralf K. Heilmann, Alexander R. Bruccoleri, Vadim Burwitz +12
Arcus is a proposed soft x-ray grating spectrometer Explorer. It aims to explore cosmic feedback by mapping hot gases within and between galaxies and galaxy clusters and characteri…
